From me GdtursfOn NerG
A teacher In the sunday school
Had taught her scholars few
The truths which scholars ought 70 know
VINO read the Bible through
But OIL the day herein set down
new one had come in
lttle lad. with keen bright eyes,
And innocent oil sln.
The teacher asked them all around
Such questions ~ she thought
Would III their minds. and bring about
TIE object that sue sought.
They knew OF Adam and his sin,
OF Paul and Peter, too;
or jacob. Joseph. David. Saul,
And him his brother slow.
And then the teacher asked her class
II any one could tell
Who Pharaoh was. "Of course" abe said,
You know that very well"
But, strange TO say, no hand arose,
And silence, with a blow.
Had struck the class. and not @ ore
The answer secIIea 10 know.
At last the new boys hand went up
"Wsll. whs was Pharaoh, ladt"
The teacher smlled-tho new boy said:

Mr.. and Mrs Wafics were much pleased with
their ledger. Mr.. Bib, though they felt rather
sorry for the old gentleman too. II was very
rad TO see him sitting in his room all day looking
at the pictures or gazing out OF the window with
that blank expression on his face. But on III"
other hand, young Mr.. Bib paid Mrs. Walllcs
extra half guinea per week for keeping an eye
on the old gentleman. and had also paid several
weeks rent in advance, which is no means
the usual practice Of dodgers in the noighborhood
Of Remington Park where Mr. and Mrs. Walcs
resided. Moreover. so far from requiring extra
attention, Mr.. Bib gave trouble at all, but did
whatever he was told 10 do. and would never
even have asked for his meals if they had not been
forthcoming. That why Mr.. aud Mrs. Wanes
were so pleased with their ledger.
1t therefore gave Mrs Wanlcs. as she subsc-
quently stated quite turn wien Mr.. Bib
came downstairs one morning with his hat and
ovcrcoat on and cvinced the strongest intention
of going ont for n walk Young Mr. BIB had given
strict instructions that his father

unable to find his way back, he was liable
10 become dangerously excited by the noise and
hustle OF the streets On the two three occasions
when he had called TO see his father young Mr.
Bib had always repeated these Instructions 1t
was, In fact, his intention 10 take his father away
TO "A quiet residence in the country rs soon as he
had concluded certain business which he had on
hand.
Mrs. Wafies accordingly placed herself bc ore
the door and explained TO Mr.. Bib that he could
not leave the premises at present
"Pleasc-please," stammercd the old gentleman
in what was for him rather an excited tone,
cant wait-my son Alrcd-look." He drew
newspaper from his pocket, and pointed to some
thing in it. On the prctcncc Of looking at IT Mrs.
WafIes drew him into the parlOr, where she
saw that il was a morning paper which he had
somehow got hold Of and that he was pointing

0NERAN EMBANkMENT
A B. AND o. TRAIN RUNS INTO AN OPEN
SWITCH.
A Total Wreck-Eght Persons Seriously Hurt-The
Engineer Terribly Sealdsd-0hsr Injuries
Sustained BY Passengers Cause Of the
O Aeeidsnt-The Work Of Malice.

PIrTSBURG, July 24.-An accommoda-
tion train on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road ran into an open switch Just after
leaving the station this afternoon and WAS
precipitated over an embankment twelve
feet high. The engine, combination bag
gage and SmokinE car, and one passenger
coach were almost completely wrecked,
and eight persons, inluding the engineer
and fireman, injured. The train was pro-
ceeding at the rate of about six miles an
hour and had reached the Tenth street
bridge when the engineer noticed that his
engine had suddenly lett the main tracks.
lie put on the air brakes ~ quickly ~ pos
sIble, but before it could be- stopped il
went over the hillside. The baggage
ear and passenger coach rolled down aud
tell on their side, and the engine turned
over. Engineer J. J. Moore and Fireman
Frank Hughes were thrown from the cab
and badly hurt. The former WAS terribly
scalded and will probably die. Hughes
had one arm broken and was badly bruised.
All OF the passengers escaped unhurt but
SIX, who jumped from the train when it
first left the track The only one seriously
injured was a young girl named Katie
GllhOOly, who was rendered unconscious,
and, 1t Is feared, has conclusion of the
brain. The Others sustained slight cuts
and bruises. 1t is not known how the
switch happened to be open, but it is be-
lieyed to have been the work of some ma
iciOuS person, and the railroad company
will institute vigorous investigation.
Engineer Moore, who was taken to the
West Penn Hospital, died at midnight.
Another Of the passengers, Maggie GilhOo-
ley, sister OF Hattie, was more seriously
injured than was at tirst supposed. One
ley Is broken and it is thought she is in
jurred internally. The two sisters were
taken To the West Penn Hospital.

The MaroOns have played half the games
booked for the present trip and have won
one out of each three games played, which
is u total of three out of nine. They have
nine more games to play, three at Mans
field, three at Akron and three at Colum-
bus. II is sincerely hoped that the boys
will not have such ill.luck in the latter
half OF their trip as they have experienced
in the first halt, and will at least win two
out of each three. If they can succeed in
doing this, it will even matters up and our
base ball enthusiasts will be happy.
A reporter met Jack Glasscock yesterday
and he expressed himself somewhat dis
gusted with the manner in which the In
dianapolis club has been playing and the
way it has been managed. He says he
would like to manage the Wheeling club
next season, and thinks be could make it
winner, but of course he cannot play ball
with any club but indianapolis unless
they release him. Jack says he wouldn't
be surprised il ne doesn't play next season,
unless the indianapolis club is reorgan-
lied. He will reoin his club to day.
1t is predicted by many that Wheeling
will do some playing this week and sev-
eral changes i'll the club would not surprise
some people.

NOTES,

Sunday base hall may not be Just the
proper thing, but there is no denying the
fact that it keeps great many men ont Of
saloons and worse places. .-CRciandG En-
quirer.
President Smith, of the Kalamazoo
club, has rendered his resignation on ac-
count of ill-health, and it was accepted.
Van SAINT was tined $25 for Indifferent
playing At the same meeting OF the DireC-
tors. He was also notified that a repeti-
tion OF his inditierentneSs would result in
fine of $50 aud blacklistiug The ques-
ton of drinking was talked over and in-
structions given TO assess every player s.
who is caught drinking Intoxicating liq-
uors for the first offense, and the second
will be more expensive.
The Washington Critic well says: THE
League cities have been long supporting
clubs which their own towns failed to
support. II the Detroits drew $4,000 in
Philadelphia, it was Philadelphia money
that was paid out, and there Is no reason
why it should 20 TO support the Detroit
club. The Free Press thinks ii hard that
the Michigan club should receive only 1915
for the three games. Take our own
nine, for Instance. Ii the boys play so well
and the city papers boom them so that
crowds are attracted to Capitol Park, the
home nine should receive the benefit, not
the visitors. If Detroit cannot support
Its own club, then the club had better be
disbanded and the players sold TO cities
that can support clubs. With the guar
antee system only the paying base bali
cities will remain in the league. No dead
weights will be carried. Then, too,
it Is system that cannot en-
courage dishonest playing. 1t is
sometimes charged that the visiting club
loses the first game to draw increased at
tendance at the othor two. Under the
guarantee system this would be absurd,
for it would make no difference to the visi-
tors, who receive their 1925 a game
whether 200 or POO, 600 were present. II
they throw a game away, they reduce
their percentage and gain nothing by it
unde' the present system. This Is by no
means small consideration-the matter
of honest playing. 1t is the foundation
stone of American sports, and if it is de-
stroyed, the costly edifce built upon il
will fall in ruins"
This applies equally well to the Ohio
League. The 40 per cent. system is 3
fraud.

WEATHER BULLETIN.
Temperature for the Past Week-General
Deficiency in Rainfall.s

Deficiency in Rainfall.N
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 23.-The
weather crop bulletin issued by the sig
nal officer to day Tor tine week ending July
-, 1887, is rs follows:
Temperature The temperature for the
week ending July %, has been normal, or
slightly cooler than usual i'll tue New Eng
land States, upper lake region and the
Missouri Valley; elsewhere it has been
warmer; the notable excesses ranging from
four degrees daily in the Middle Allan
tic States to six degrees or more
in the Ohio Valley. These
high temperatures have prevailed over the
entire cotton, corn and tobacco regions
since January /. The temperature for the
agricultural sections has closely accorded
with the average, except over the cotton
and wheat districts of Ohio and Missouri,
where the mean daily excess OF heat has
been from one degree to two degrees.
Rainiall-DuriDg the week ending July
%. the rainfall has been III excess over the
New England, Middle, Atlantic States and
the interior of the South Atlantic and
East Cult States ~ well III the greater part
OF Nebraska. The excess OF rainfall has
come largely in severe thunder storms, es-
peeially in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
While Southern Michigan has been favored
by a slight excess, the ONO and Mississippi
valleys report for the week deficient rain
fall, varying FROM One-third 10 three
quarters of the usual amount.
Marked seasonal deficiencies of rainfall
yet to obtain, amounting to 10 inches or
more, in Iowa, the lower Mississippi val.
ley. Alabama and Georgia. In Iowa this
deficiency has steadily increased during
the past month, but in the other regions
named the deficiency has slowly dimin-
ished.
General remarks-The reports for the
week show the weather favorable for the
cotton crop, except in the CarOlinas,
where many localities must need
the rain to-day predicted While
the high temperatures tend to rap
idly mature the growing corn, yet more
rain must be needful from Kansas and
Iowa eastward to Indiana. The great
heat and bad distribution of rain may
positively affect the tobacco crop i'll North
Carolina, where, however, the indications
of this morning, July %, look to occi-
sional rains.

the Brotherhood of Telegraphers OF the
United States have made proposition to
purchase the Baltimore and Ohio Tele-
graph Company. The SUN they offer is

press confidence that every man among
them would devote himself with zeal To
the task OF raising the 81, 600, 600 and meet
his assessment promptly. The assessment
paid by each member of the brotherhood
would make him a stakeholder In the COM
